Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

There are all kinds of spring music festivals, and haven’t you ever regretted finding out about them only after they’ve ended?

Here, we’ve put together an overview of spring music festivals held in eastern Japan.

Be sure to check it out so you don’t miss any festivals that look fun.

ONE WEEK WONDERWed, Mar 4, Tokyo

Organized by HYPE Inc., which operates live houses and provides end-to-end production for live events, this event will be held as an anniversary celebration for the live house TOKIO TOKYO. For five days, it will take place at the TOKIO TOKYO live house, and on the final day the venue will move to Yokohama to accommodate a larger audience. As the title “A Week of Surprises” suggests, the lineup changes every time, so those with the stamina might enjoy attending from the first day through the finale.
